C++ Code for Least Squares Method (Linear Regression)

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
// Function to calculate Least Squares Method for a straight line y = ax + b

sumX += x[i];
sumY += y[i];
sumXY += x[i] * y[i];
sumX2 += x[i] * x[i];
}
// Calculating slope (a) and intercept (b)
a = (n * sumXY - sumX * sumY) / (n * sumX2 - sumX * sumX);
b = (sumY - a * sumX) / n;
}
int main() {
